l Tl-IE COST OF EDUCATION.
Nbw that provincial affairs are under
disriussion in a general election' it may be
woiith while to consider how the govern-
mental expenditure for education in P. E-
Isl nd compares with that of other
P iiices of the Dominion. The Sta-
tist cal Year Book for 1899 furnishes the
foil wing figures:

Prtviuces. It is also to be noted that the
cal ulation is based upon population as
sh wu by the census of 1891, except in the
calc of Manitoba, where the population
figures for 1896 are taken as a basis. In
the other Provinces, and especially in the
fo i eastern ones, there has been no great
chfnge in the relative growth of popula-
tioii. Au exception must, however be
miles in me me of British columbia,
wliere the population is thought to have
ne rly doubled since 1891, and the cost
pe; head there is probably not more than
sl. instead or $2.75 as stated. with iiie.-e
ex eptious and reservations the table will
sti l prove an instructive one.
e are not for one moment arguing
th t this Province expeuds too much for
ediication, or that the total cost of edu-
ca ,ion is relatively greziter here t`iau i.i
so e other Provinces. Such is not the
fail: What we desire to direct attention
to lis that notwithstanding our straiteuel
prhvincial finances the Provincial Govern-
in ut is bearing a much larger share of the
diioat cost of education than is borne by
thie Governments of other Provinces. It
will he seen from the table that in propor-
tion to population the Island Government
i-.ipayiug for education almost twice as
miich as the Government pays in New
Biunswick, more than twice as much as
iu| Nova Scotia, more than three times as
much as in Ontario and more than four
tiines as much as is paid by the Govern-
mi nt in Quebec. i
gnc essential difference between our
ot|l.er Provinces in that outside of Prince
I Eivvurd Island a large part of the cost
is, ivided between the municipalities and
the school districts, while here itis almost
entirely shouldered by the Government.
Are we wiser than they in that regard?
THE GUARDIAN does not think so. We

administration of education and that of

T   l tion more generally diffused here than in
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, or Ontario.
We need the introduction of the munici-
pal system, and a revolution in our mode
ment ought not to be a mere tax gatherer
for the support of local services. It ought
to be relieved of at least one third of the
present outlay for education, and to giva.
up at the same time the land tax and the
income tax.
Land taxes and income t es as sources
of proviuciiil revenue aiyunkuown in
any of the Provinces east of the Rocky
Mountains except in P. E. Island. Even
in Quebec,where the taxation is euormoi' s
tl;e people escapethese forms of provincial
taxation, They would not be uecssary
here but for our altogether anomalous
mode of supporting our schools. One of
the worst features of our system of school
support is that it detracts from the inter-
est which the people ln the school dis-
tricts ought to feel in the schools. The
changes which we propose would increase
that interest and tend powerfully to
improve the schools without additions.

payer would see that lie got value for his
taxes. Now he pays in land-tax or income
tax, which goes into the provincial fund,
and is distributed for various services so
that the taxpaycrtiinuot realise what he
is paying for.
